The mechanism(s) underlying the attenuation of the slow component of pulmonary O2 uptake (Vo2) by prior heavy-intensity exercise is (are) poorly understood but may be ascribed to either an intramuscular-metabolic or a circulatory modification resulting from "priming" exercise. We investigated the effects of altering the circulatory dynamics by delayed vagal withdrawal to the circulation induced...

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) has been used widely in various psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia. there have been some reports of its usefulness in alcohol dependence and substance use disorders. the present paper reviews the studies done using rtms in substance use disorders including alcohol and nicotine dependence. various studies done have been rev...

OBJECTIVE Slow frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) reduces motor cortex excitability, but it is unclear whether this has behavioural consequences in healthy subjects. METHODS We examined the effects of 1 Hz rTMS (train of 20 min; stimulus intensity 80% of active motor threshold) over left motor or left premotor cortex on performance in a visually cued choice reaction...

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference between the therapeutic effect of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) and that of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), when each is combined with intensive occupational therapy (OT), in poststroke patients with upper limb hemiparesis. Materials and Methods The study subjects were 103 pos...

In recent rehabilitation, treatments include electrical stimulation and magnetic stimulation. They are transcranial (TMS), repetitive peripheral (rPMS), transcutaneous nerve (TENS), others. rPMS has been effective technique for non-invasive neuromodulation. Clinical effects of have reported such as generalized sarcopenia dysphagia, measurement rectus femoris muscle (RF), strength suprahyoid mus...

The new tendency in rehabilitation involves non-invasive tools that, if applied early after stroke, promote neurorecovery. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation may correct the disruption of cortical excitability and effectively contribute to the restoration of movement and speech. The present paper analyses the results of non-invasive brain st...
